Chapter 403: Chapter 357: The Era I Live In

Mira’s question was met with a nod from Vina Kana.

"Will that thing really appear?!"

The girl asked in astonishment.

"If it wouldn’t, I wouldn’t have come here."

Vina Kana said, and then added,

"I am chasing someone."

"Who?"

"The woman you mentioned before, the one who serves suffering."

Vina Kana stated simply:

"She took away some of the torn pages of the Ancient Scroll of Destiny, and I must retrieve it.

And also take the torn pages from the Bone Church."

When Mira heard this, she suddenly realized something.

Could it mean that the Ancient Scroll of Destiny was forged and then shattered in the future?

Vina Kana, as if seeing through her heart, said softly,

"Yes, Mira."

Mira was startled, she was all too familiar with this mind-reading ability.

That was a unique ability of Angel Grace.

The thoughts and ideas of people originate from the mind and soul, and since God’s spirit constructs the souls of all beings, the recipients of Angel Grace can see through someone’s heart with just a glance.

And Mira also had this ability, which her mother had bestowed upon her during her creation.

Now, Vina Kana also demonstrated this ability, and although Mira didn’t know what a living saint was (because the concept of "saint" didn’t exist in this era), the simple-minded Mira completely believed Vina Kana’s words.

Undoubtedly, Vina Kana was on the side of God.

The concept of good and evil is almost a child’s worldview, Mira had already labeled Vina Kana as a "good person," and naturally, her opponents were the bad ones.

"Shall we move on, Vina Kana?"

Mira asked softly,

"I need to find Anos, and you need to find your mentioned Selena, right?"

Vina Kana nodded slightly, she stopped speaking, turned silently, and moved forward with a torch in the Bone Church.

Mira followed closely, this time the girl stared intently at Vina Kana’s conspicuous golden blonde hair, not daring to be distracted.

Vina Kana noticed the girl’s concerns; she sheathed her longsword, and under the dim light of the torch, the longsword named Sofia looked stunningly beautiful, emitting a silver glow and seemingly alive.

"Hold my hand."

Vina Kana’s tone was calm but unquestionable.

Mira nodded, extending her hand.

Their hands joined, Vina Kana leading and Mira following, feeling the touch of the hand, the girl somewhat relaxed, no longer having to worry frantically about losing Vina Kana.

I wonder how Anos is doing.

Mira thought somewhat worriedly.

As Vina Kana had said, this was a place of disoriented time and space, then... who would Anos meet?

The girl was both worried and curious.

In the dark corridor, where one could not see the end, walls made of human bones on both sides were covered in dust, with numerous empty eye sockets staring out, looking extremely eerie.

Vina Kana and Mira were not walking slowly, but strangely, the path in the Bone Church seemed extraordinarily lengthy, they clearly passed one corner after another, but the surrounding scenes repeatedly seemed as if they were walking in circles.

The ground was covered with a layer of dust as thick as a palm.

"How long has it been since anyone came here..."

Mira muttered to herself internally.

Suddenly, Vina Kana stopped in her tracks.

Mira looked ahead and almost had her heart leap to her throat.

In the middle of the corridor, a rotten corpse was hanging upside down from above, a dark sticky fluid linking to threads dripping to the ground.

The expression on the corpse was one of immense distorted piety.

Around its neck hung a placard, inscribed with text resembling the Danschel language.

"No one can gaze directly at God."

Vina Kana softly chanted the text above.

The girl, upon hearing this, exclaimed in shock,

"But that doesn’t mean you have to hang yourself."

This statement was so out of place, and it didn’t match the current atmosphere.

But that’s just how children are.

Vina Kana curled her lips into a smile without realizing it.

Soon, she composed herself.

Mira followed Vina Kana, who turned the card over to see a line of crooked, sloppily carved handwriting:

"This is a lie!!!"

The exclamation marks were etched deeply, surrounded by faint red color, as if smeared with blood.

"Do these two sentences have any relation?"

Vina Kana murmured to herself.

Mira examined the phrases on both sides.

"No one can gaze directly upon God..." Mira remembered this line was probably from the "Second Prophet Book," where Prophet Noen was preaching to a centaur blacksmith.

This phrase clearly came from the scriptures; how could it be a lie?

Suddenly, Mira thought of something.

Could it be that the supposed "This is a lie!!!" meant the phrase "This is a lie!!!" itself was a lie?

The girl suddenly realized something.

Thinking this way, the person who left this message was quite honest.

Honesty...

Mira’s mind raced, and she immediately caught onto something.

She remembered that the ledger of the Stone Mason Guild’s president mentioned meeting a mysterious person who was honest and had signed a contract in the Bone Church.

"Honesty and contracts..."

Mira mumbled.

"Did you realize something?"

Vina Kana turned around and asked.

"Slaier!"

Mira exclaimed,

"Slaier, the so-called God of Honesty and Contracts in the ’Second Prophet Book’!"

Vina Kana frowned.

Mira turned to her and asked,

"Don’t you know? Haven’t you read the ’Second Prophet Book’?"

"Mira, I am not from the same era as you,"

Vina Kana shook her head,

"In my time, many scriptures had already been lost, scattered, and our canons were compiled by successive Popes who reconstituted the True Religion."

Mira’s face showed utter astonishment.

The Pope Vina Kana mentioned... she had never heard this term before.

Did it mean some kind of Great Shepherd? Or was it the leader of the shepherds?

The scriptures are lost... those Sacred Scriptures were actually lost?!

Amid Vina Kana’s mild narration, Mira, who came from Heaven, felt for the first time the vastness of time.

Her era and the era Vina Kana belonged to; the distance between them unimaginably long.

Was it thousands of years? Or perhaps tens of thousands?

All Vina Kana said in a low voice was,

"In my time, the Golden Age had already ended, and the Gods no longer walked the Mortal World."

Mira was dumbfounded.

The Golden Age completely over, the Gods no longer walking the Mortal World?

For Mira, existing in the present, such a future was unimaginable, just as the ape-men, newly acquainted with the use of fire, had no knowledge of what language really was.
